Everything in the article notwithstanding (and it is true), even the notion that any image getting posted anywhere being “unprocessed” is hugely spurious even before you get into digital. As anyone who as ever developed film knows, during the development process you also have a huge amount of influence on how the final print will turn out.

In fact, come to think of it, that’s probably why it’s called a “process.”

Anyway, Pierre over there with his beret and turtleneck and his designer spectacles thinks doing no postprocessing on his images makes him “more purist,” or whatever the fuck.

I post unpostprocessed images (with several rather glaringly obvious exceptions) because I enjoy getting the initial output from the camera as close to what I wanted to begin with because that allows me to be lazy.

We are not the same.
